The rock-inspired restaurant recently opened in Vacaville, the first of the chain to call Northern California home. The concept is designed to engage people of all ages with entertainment, comfort food, local favorites and a selection of craft and international beers.

A “Great Wall of Rock” features iconic rock art, concert trusses and lighting, and multiple flat screens sharing some of the greatest rock concert moments of all time.

Attending the event will be Vacaville Mayor Len Augustine; Julie De Maria, president of Operation: Care and Comfort; as well as the Rock & Brews co-partners, president, Vacaville franchisee and Vacaville general manager.

Stanley is scheduled for pre-event media interviews from 7 to 10 a.m. A ribbon-cutting follows at noon with a private luncheon for veterans. A check will be presented to Operation: Care and Comfort.

Founded in 2003 in the San Francisco Bay Area, Operation: Care and Comfort supports the military, veterans and their families through care packages, tickets for troops and adopting a military family.

Beer? A whole different ballgame, especially when it comes to investing. Beer and food, actually. And music. Which is why Stanley and KISS colleague Gene Simmons took the plunge into “Rock & Brews” in 2012.

Six years later, there are 20-plus locations of the “rock-inspired restaurant” with 50 on the drawing board, and a Tuesday ribbon-cutting in Vacaville with Stanley and dignitaries appearing at the Vacaville Commons Shopping Center site.

“Conceptually, it made so much sense,” Stanley said of the investment.

There are more Kiss love songs than you might expect from a group full of fire-breathing, space traveling, leather-wearing groupie magnets. Now, we're not talking about "Makin' Love" or declaring yourself to be "Dr. Love" or even boasting about loving it loud. No, the focus here is squarely on romantic lyrics that even your grandmother could endorse – provided she doesn't catch Gene Simmons doing all those sinful things with his tongue while he plays them. Here's our attempt to win over your makeup-covered little hearts: a list of the Top Kiss Love Songs.10

10. "Forever"

From: 'Hot in the Shade' (1989)

Yes, the much-mocked Michael Bolton helped write it, and yes, the production on this particular Kiss love song is decidedly saccharine. Still, there's a reason this is one of the biggest-selling tracks in "Kisstory": Paul Stanley takes a strong melody and sings the hell out of it, complete with a surprising amount of emotion and nuance.

KISS frontman and co-founder Paul Stanley exhibited his original artwork at the Wentworth Gallery in Fort Lauderdale on Friday, February 9th.

The high-energy Stanley bounded into the shop just after 11 a.m. to greet members of the media to discuss his different artistic side. Stanley, who created the iconic KISS logo decades ago, has been painting and creating for about 18 years; he said he started during a particularly turbulent period in his personal life and it resonated with him.
